The One with the Confetti Layout

Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Journaling says: On a warm and sunny day in January, I took Fox and Jane outside to our "patch of grass," set them down together, and snapped away. I love watching them watch each other and interact together. Love them!

How to: Trim patterned papers, photos, and a transparency sheet into hexagons. Figure out the placement and loosely adhere the hexagons in place. Punch confetti and borders from patterned paper, patterned vellum, corrugated cardstock, and glitter paper. Trim the border pieces into individual shapes. Sew the transparency hexagons onto the layout, leaving a hole for pouring in the confetti (add small wooden veneer shapes to the mix), then finish sewing them down. Embellish the hexagons with stickers, sequins, and other embellishments. Add a wooden veneer word for a title and stamp the date below. Write journaling on an empty hexagon.
